Differences between mean EQ-5D and thermometer scores of patients allocated hospital at home care and those of patients allocated hospital care after adjustment for baseline assessments^*

	Difference (95% CI )†	P value‡
EQ-5D score§:
At 4 weeks’ follow up	0.00 (−0.09 to 0.10)	0.20
At 3 months’ follow up	−0.04 (−0.13 to 0.06)
Thermometer¶:
At 4 weeks’ follow up	−1.9 (−7.9 to 4.1)	0.47
At 3 months’ follow up	−4.6 (−11.0 to 2.0)

^*From (separate) univariate analyses of covariance for the two follow up assessments.  

^†Scores for hospital at home care minus those for hospital care.  

^‡From (a single) multivariate repeated measures analysis of variance.  

^§Possible range 5-15.  

^¶Possible range 0-100.
